accepted and youre sacrifyces haue not pleased me Agayne put youre burnte offringes to your sacrifices eate y ● flesh for I dyd not speake with youre fathers neither dyd I commaūd thē on y ● daye whā I broughte thē oute of the lande of Egypte any thyng at all of burn●e offringes and sacrifices but I commaūd thē this word sayeng Heare you my voyce I shalbe your god and ye shall be my people walke in euerye waye that I haue cōmaunded you that ye may prosper But they would not once heare me nor geue attendaunce to me but they followed their owne pleasures and walked in the lewdnes of theyr malicious hertes so that they fel clene frō me To what purpose do ye offer vnto me the multitude of your sacrifices sayeth the LORDE I am full of them The burnte offringes of youre wethers and the fatte of youre fatlynges and the bloude of youre calues of your lambes gotes woulde not I haue Whan ye come before my syghte who requyreth these thynges of your hādes Offer I praye you no more Sacrifyce to me thus in vayne Your ensence is abhominacion to me Your Sabbothes and holye dayes by no meanes can I away with He that offereth an oxe is lyke to hym that kylleth a man He y t sleyeth a beast is lyke vnto hym that braynethe a dogge He that offereth an oblaciō is lyke vnto hym that offereth swynes bloude Here le ye y t God hathe no pleasure in these externall sacrifices but rather abhorreth them Then perceyue you full well that this is no waye to delyuer your selues out of captyuitie to obtayne the fauoure of God What wyll ye now do Wyl ye inuent new thiges of your owne fātasy offer thē to God of a good intent that by this meanes he maye be the more mercyfull to you This also is yet mooste vayne For yf thynges prescribed commaunded of God himselfe can not ●btaynē for you

thynge to the word of God nor yet plucke ought from it Ye muste walke in the way that God hath appoynted you neyther maye ye declyne on the ryghte hande nor on the lyfte hand Yea ye maye not do to your LORDE god y ● which ye thynke best in your owne eyes but that only whiche he commaundeth you Here therfore is no euasion nor way to escape y ● fearce plages of God Certes the longer ye wrastle and entāgle your selues in this behalfe the worsse ye are so farre as I can perceyue so vnable are ye of your selues in any poynte to satisfy Goddes wrath to make hym your frende What refuge then can ye nowe inuente yet is there nothynge before your eyes set but only desperacion eternall death for ye haue deserued no other y e rewarde of syn is death Certes the hooke is layde at the roote of the tree that euery tree that bryngeth forthe not good fruyte shalbe hewen downe caste into the fyre Howe nowe wyll ye escape from the wrathe that is to come Wo be vnto them that synne and kepeth not my

tēpest shall be parte of theyr cuppe As smoke decayeth so shall the wycked decay and as waxe meltethe before y ● face of the fyre so shal synners perysh before the face of God The moost hyest hateth
